You need aquarium silicone. The one for the bathroom is a wearing part and does not last nearly as long...Im buying a diy enclosure from someone for $75 and he said it has some leaks in the little water feature at the bottom. Is 100% silicone for bathrooms safe to use or do i need to get aquarium silicone? Ive heard mixed opinions. Im going to be redecorating it since the paint job isnt a great look lol. It’s going to be for my timor monitor
You have a preferred brand?
Only use Aquarium safe silicone - all others contain Anti- Mildew/ Mould preventing chemicals.Im buying a diy enclosure from someone for $75 and he said it has some leaks in the little water feature at the bottom.

Exactly. If in the slightest doubt, squirt some of it out and sniff. It should have strong tangy vinegar odor. If there is any hint of a sort of musty smell, give it a miss. That fungicide mildewcide odor is pretty obvious. There is another version which eliminates any doubt. It's certified safe for food processing equipment and will have a government label.

Because there are other safe alternatives not marketed for aquariums. Like someone else suggested food safe silicone
Aquarium silicone not only is fungicide free but has very strong adherent properties. Ideal for making AQUARIUMS chemical free, strong jointing, and of course, waterproof. Why bother trying anything else that may or may not work.
